The Andhra Pradesh Lorry Owners’ Association (APLOA) announced its backing for the upcoming nationwide 'Truck Chakka Jam' protest, scheduled from May 21 to 23, 2026. This agitation will see participation from transport organizations across 62 regions in India and is organized under the leadership of the Diesel-National Committee (DNC) and the All India Motor Transport Congress (AIMTC). According to Y.V. Eswara Rao, the vice-president of AIMTC and state general secretary of APLOA, the transport sector is facing significant challenges due to a sharp increase in fees for the Environmental Compensation Certificate (ECC). Light goods vehicles are being charged ₹2,000 while heavy goods vehicles face charges of ₹4,000. Additionally, there are proposals for mandatory fitness tests for diesel vehicles every four years starting from November 1, 2026, and mandatory ECC tests for Euro-6 vehicles. These policies are seen as financially burdensome for lorry owners and transport operators. Rao urged all stakeholders in the transport sector, including lorry owners, drivers, and workers, to actively participate in the protest to voice their concerns.
